Access Supporting Documents

Throughout A Good Scrap I Fear, William Ireland draws on a wide range of evidence—letters, timelines, Freedom of Information requests, and council correspondence. These documents are not just part of his family’s story; they also

form the backbone of the wider campaign for accountability.

This Download Centre provides readers and supporters with access to key materials referenced in the book. They have been made available so that anyone can see the evidence for themselves, understand the detail behind the narrative, and use these resources to inform debate and support reform.

By opening up these files, the aim is simple: transparency. The story of The Cottage Hotel is one example, but the issues it raises affect many others.

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating well or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Nestled on the cliffs above the harbour beach at Hope Cove in South Devon, The Cottage Hotel is a family-run seaside retreat distinguished by its timeless charm and commanding views of the coastline.

For decades, guests have awakened to spectacular sea vistas, dined under sunset skies, and meandered straight into village life from the terraces and lounges overlooking the Cove.

Operating since 1973 under the Ireland family, the hotel combines warmth and continuity with a welcoming attitude toward all who arrive. Today, many of its rooms still open to the sea, and its lounges, bar, restaurant, and terraced outdoor areas remain central to its character.

The hotel’s website highlights features that echo through the memoir:

Dining rooms opening onto view-filled horizons and guests catching the orange hue of Devon sunsets.
A terrace for afternoon tea, afternoon dining, or just lingering over conversation.
A restaurant that welcomes residents and locals alike, with classic menus, seasonal offerings, and a tradition of reserved tables for guests.
A bar and lounge that offer both expansive views and cosy refuge, depending on time of day or weather.

These are not just amenities; in the book, they are settings where loyalty, character, and crisis unfold.
